What is it with these Chron writers? I expected to go through each picture and have a story about why each person was cursed. And nothing. Figure it out for yourself. What a Joke. No wonder the Chron has such a bad wrap.

Nope, VY was struck by his own poor work ethic. He misunderstood. When others told him leaders were the first ones in the building and the last to leave he heard the last one in the building and the first to leave. Such a shame, to be so athletically gifted and have it wasted

The only thing that “cursed” Vince Young was his own stupidity. He thought that the talent that was more than enough for college ball was also enough for the NFL. His ego would not allow him to see that runninig through a team with 2 or 3 NFL caliber players is not the same as running through a team of 11 NFL players. He could have been something special, but, as displayed by the Wonderlic tests, he didn’t have the brains to step up to the next level. He will be around the NFL for some years, but he never will be a starter unless somone gets hurt, and he will never hold onto the job once, or if, he ever gets a chance. His window of opportunity has already closed. Too many other young players with equal or greater talent, (Kapernick, Wilson, RGIII, Luck, etc.)and a brain to go with it, have come along and are waiting in the college ranks to step in without being the prima dona that VY felt he could be without really proving it on the field. Best move the Texans ever made on draft day was to pass on Young, history has proved that. Titans are still trying to recover from the mess he produced over there and no other team seems to want to keep him around very long. A real shame for someone that may have been a force at the pro level, but it shows that talent alone is not enough when you play with the big boys!!

The only curse for Vince came from defeating USC in the NCAA championship, then having to play for one of the most devoted USC cultists ever in Fisher who was forced to draft VY against his will and then did everything in his power to sabotage his career.

Break out the tinfoil hats, everyone! Why would Jeff Fisher tank his own career by sabotaging Young? That’s completely ludicrous. I suppose the Eagles, the Bills, and now the Packers are also in on the conspiracy? Or…maybe Vince Young isn’t a good pro quarterback? Naaah. That CAN’T be it.
